Shoot for an internet service with latency below 100 ms.
Where can I find free Wi-Fi near me?

Fiber internet providers are likely to offer the fastest, most consistent speeds for the money. Cable internet providers can also deliver fast speeds, up to 100 Mbps and higher, but are more vulnerable to slowed speeds during peak usage times.
